Nostr Web Client

I listened to the Guy interview yesterday, too and had the same thought. They did not go into much detail. Just that it magically works and that sounds intriguing but I also think I remember that some part of it was closed source and thus a no-go for me.

I want to understand the stack and the promises of the Pear stack. Can I run a Pear enabled nostr relay using a pubkey at home such that I can connect to it with my Pear enabled mobile client from wherever? I bet the devs would claim so and that would be cool but with not much buzz on nostr I feel like there must be something wrong with it.

Yes and the fact that they seem to be an isolated group of devs under one company financing it

keet dont tweet 1y ago

paolo who sort out mafintosh to build the team to do this is interested in it because he believes correctly it is the right technology especially over nostr

mafintosh has been at this for a long time before he met paolo, this was not their first project, mafintosh has a long history in open source, pear is completely open and makes up most of keet

they dont want to open all of keet yet because they want to keep everyone updated while they iterate fast, which they have done a lot of, they are also concerned with forks and exploits interfering with dev and interest in keet

there is a lot of interest in pear and there are many projects being built with it, they are usually discussed on keet because keet is now a fully functioning fully p2p ie no relays or servers social platform, it scales infinitely including for media or any files

nostr btw is still using centralized file storage, keet is completely p2p

fun bit of trivia mafintosh created webtorrent
